New specific whim for my #MSWL! I'd love to see more PB bios of contemporary musicians. Give me rock bands, give me rappers, give me pop stars currently killing it. (Lizzo, anyone?? π) I LOVE music across many genres, try me with anyone who has a fascinating, kid-OK story!πΈπ΅πΆ

You can see my full Manuscript Wishlist here! I won't take anything animal-related off of it since this is by no means a permanent request and I would never say no to a *perfect* animal fit, but it's otherwise accurate π:

I love me some animal books! You may have noticed quite a few in my announcements recently (and will notice more π). So excited as I am about them, for now I'm hoping to see some more human-centered submissions to rebalance my list! #MSWL

Editor
New specific whim to add to my #MSWL since mention of it just gave me a mini homesick twinge: I would love to see some kind of adventure that takes place at Pike Place Market. It still feels like a magical place to me today and did even more so when I was a kid!

Editor
I have just added my first #MSWL specific whim of the year--rewilding stories! See incoming thread for more details and my entire wishlist at this link π

Been watching everyone update their #MSWL for the new year and tbh...I looked at mine and updated a few new favorites, but my core wants and whims still stand true for now. I'm sure more whims will pop up sometime this year, and I'll adjust as they come!

In my recent addiction to food-focused travel TV, I've learned a bit about Queen of Creole Cuisine Leah Chase and how she literally fed the '60s civil rights movement and wow what a queen indeed. Could be an awesome PB bio subject...π #MSWL

Happy Friday! I just updated my #MSWL with a few new specific whims, so take a peek at this incoming thread of gifs if you're curious :)
